Well, The Ant Came Back...

...the very next day.

Well sort of. This was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be and I tried for two days before I nailed this ONE shot. So enjoy.

My plan was to set up and prefocus on a branch and then capture and place an ant on it with the hopes that the little bugger would run into the frame. Here's what I learned:

1) Ants are FAST.
2) They don't like being captured.
3) You can't pick them up with your fingers.
4) Ants are REALLY FAST...

Canon EOS 7D
Canon 10mm f/2.8L macro
